Employment

The Adler Athletic Complex is the center of student activities at Penn State Altoona. The Athletics & Recreation Department hires approximately 75 students per semester to help with aquatic, recreational, intramural, and varsity sports programming.

The Athletics and Recreation Department accepts employment applications from any Penn State Altoona Student for the employee positions. However, due to budgetary constraints, work-study students are given first consideration for open positions within the department. Hiring decisions are made one semester in advance if possible. Unexpected openings are filled as they arise. Hiring decisions are made by the Athletics and Recreation administrators.

For information regarding Federal Work-study, visit the Tuition and Financial Aid page.

For additional information in regards to Work-study opportunities within the Adler Athletic Complex please contact John Carey, Director of Recreation and Athletic Facilities, at 814-949-5468 or [email protected].

There are a great many Adler Athletic Complex employment opportunities available to Penn State Altoona students. Some of the positions currently filled by students are posted online at psu.jobs
